At the same time, we can gather that the letter was also intended in a more general sense - to circulate among Christians as a great statement of God’s eternal plan, worked out in the church and in individual Christian lives. Here he had laboured, watched, and wept, for both the community and individuals.” (Moule) Here he had taken that critical and momentous step, the ‘separation’ of the disciples from the Synagogue to a distinct place of teaching and no doubt of worship, ‘the school of one Tyrannus,’ the lecture-hall, we may suppose, of a friendly professor in what we may call the Ephesian University. Here for the space of three complete years - a unique length of stationary work for him - he had lived and laboured, not as the apostolic missionary only but as the apostolic pastor. There is little doubt this letter was intended for Ephesus, and Ephesus was an important city to Paul. Based partly on this, some believe that this letter was actually a circular letter written not to any one congregation, but meant to be passed on to many different congregations in different cities. To the saints who are in Ephesus: In a few ancient manuscripts there is a blank space instead of the words in Ephesus. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ: The opening of the letter is brief, without the more detailed greetings from Paul often found in his other letters.ī. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Ī. ( Ephesians 1:1-2) Paul’s greeting to the Ephesians. It reveals the things God has prepared for those who love Him.Ģ. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10: But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. In looking at the great, majestic themes of Ephesians, it is important to remember that Paul wrote this letter from prison.ĭ. Then with his mind still working over the theme of the greatness and glory of Christ, but moving on to consider the place of the Church in the purpose of God, he wrote Ephesians, this time without the limitation of any polemical aims.” (Foulkes) “He wrote to the Colossians to meet a particular situation and danger in the church at Colossae. Since Paul wrote both of them from his Roman imprisonment, his mind may have worked on the same themes when he wrote each letter. Ephesians has many similarities with Paul’s letter to the Colossians. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul also saw the new man and a new society, but he saw it all accomplished by the work of Jesus.Ĭ. Karl Marx wrote about a new man and a new society, but he saw man and society both in almost purely economic terms and offered only economic answers. If the Letter to the Romans focuses more on God’s work in the individual Christian, Ephesians includes the great themes of God’s work in the church, the community of believers. Whosoever would see Christianity in one treatise, let him ‘read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest’ the Epistle to the Ephesians.” (Spurgeon)ī. In the first chapter you have the doctrines of the gospel in the next, you have the experience of the Christians and before the Epistle is finished, you have the precepts of the Christian faith. “The Epistle to the Ephesians is a complete Body of Divinity. Paul there is none greater than this, nor any with a character more entirely its own… There is a peculiar and sustained loftiness in its teaching which has deeply impressed the greatest minds and has earned for it the title of the ‘Epistle of the Ascension.” (Salmond) “Among the Epistles bearing the name of St. “It sums up in large measure the leading themes of the Pauline writings… But it does more than that it carries the thought of the earlier letters forward to a new stage.” (Bruce) Ephesians has been called “the Queen of the Epistles,” “the quintessence of Paulinism,” “the divinest composition of man” and even “the Waterloo of commentators.” Some say that Ephesians reads “like a commentary on the Pauline letters” and probably it has been best termed “the crown of Paulinism.” (Bruce) The elevated themes of Ephesians make it highly praised and prized by commentators. Like Romans, Ephesians was not written so much to address problems in a particular church more so, it was written to explain some of the great themes and doctrines of Christianity.

While it is acceptable for objective parties to witness a document, courts are often more comfortable with the signature of a notary. If you are able to choose between the two methods of witnessing a legal document, it is always best to go with the notary. A notary public seal and signature is accepted as a legal witness to almost any document in the United States. This is how the notary can legally witness the signing of a document by people the notary does not know. You can also find private practice notaries who will witness your document for a fee.Ī notary public will want all parties signing the document to be present and sign the document in front of the notary. When a person is sworn in as a judge, they are automatically made a notary. While not every bank and library offers free notary services, there are many across the country that do. The two most common places to find free notary services are banks and libraries. l746, whenever any matter is required or permitted to be established or proven by a sworn statement, oath or affidavit, such matter may also be established or proven by an unsworn written declaration under penalty of perjury. You will find notaries in many different walks of life. Each notary is given a unique identification number and an official seal that are both placed on the document to show that they witnessed the signature. A notary public has passed a government test that allows the notary to act as an official government witness for legal documents of any kind. The most common way to get a universally accepted witness to a legal document is to use a notary public. If an objective party is asked to sign a legal document, then the objective party should keep a copy of the completely signed document for their own records. The objective party is being asked to attest that each signature is authentic, and they may be asked to verify the authenticity of the document if it comes under question at any point in time. An objective party must be an adult who is not under the influence of alcohol or drugs when they sign the document.

The heat gauge on your dashboard is high, but your vehicle cabin doesn’t feel hot, this might be a sign that the heater core hose is damaged.If the heater core hose is damaged, it’s likely that the coolant will leak and you’ll smell it. Coolant has a sweet smell added to it so that you can tell when it’s leaking. You notice a fruity smell when you turn on the heat.This is a sign that there’s a leak in your heater core hose or that it’s disconnected. The fans will probably still blow air but that air will never heat up. When you turn on the heat in your vehicle, nothing happens.There are other ways to notice damage though. Even if you open the dashboard and look at the lines behind it to find damage, you probably won’t see it unless it’s severe. Most of the hoses in your vehicle, including the heater core hose, wear from the inside out. The thermostat has valves that control this temperature and how much hot coolant is pumped through the small heater core hoses. There are also fans within this system that blow air past these small pipes out through the vents into the cabin of your vehicle. When the hot coolant flows into the heater core, the hose (which is actually very small) radiates this heat. Disconnecting the wrong thing could lead to further damage. The heater core hose is one of many lines that will be behind the dashboard. But there will also be electrical wires and other connections.ĭo not remove or alter anything without further inspection. Once the dashboard is removed, all the hoses that lead to the engine and radiator should be right there. Simply look for the screws or other connectors on the side seams around the dashboard and use the matching screwdriver to remove them. On most vehicles, the dashboard is fairly easy to open up. The best way to access the heater core hose for replacement or to check it is to remove the vehicle’s dashboard. The condensation and fog will obstruct the windows and windshield. Not only does this mean toxic fumes are leaking out but it also means that your visibility will be compromised. When hot coolant leaks from a damaged heater core hose, this causes condensation that can fog up the windows. When hot coolant leaks onto other parts of the engine or electrical components behind the dashboard, they could erode or completely fall apart.ĭamage to electrical components can cause sparking or electrocution. The hot coolant leaking from the dashboard can also physically damage other parts of the car or hurt someone if it leaks onto them while they’re sitting in the front seats.Ī damaged or disconnected heater core hose can also damage the insides of your vehicle. If you don’t replace your heater core hose, you risk toxic fumes and coolant leaking into the cabin of your vehicle. Yes, you’ll spend most of the cost on labor from the mechanic but they are experts and will be able to do the replacement efficiently and properly. Is a Full Heater Core Hose Replacement Worth It?Ĭompared to other types of repairs, replacing the heater core hose is moderately priced. You can locate them specifically by tracing them back to the main vehicle parts that control these hoses. These are small hoses, usually less than an inch in diameter. It connects to the radiator or thermostat and will likely be attached to a “t-connector.” The heater core hose is located behind the dashboard. This may work differently for your vehicle than others but the main concept is the same. The heater core hose is one of these important parts.Ĭoolant is pumped through the engine to cool it off but heated fluids are brought through the heater core to warm up the air that comes through the vents on your dashboard. Like blood is carried to your organs and pumped through your veins, different fluids are carried to the major parts of your vehicle through the hoses. The different hoses in your vehicle are like the veins, arteries, and capillaries in your body. Break lines and others carry brake fluid and transmission fluid. Some of them bring fuel from the gas tank to other parts of your car. Some of them bring coolant to the engine. The heater core hose is just one in a large network of hoses under the hood of your vehicle. The replacement hose itself will run you around $50 or less for most cars. It’ll cost approximately $150-$200, depending on how much your mechanic charges for labor and the type of vehicle you own. The heater core hose also helps the defroster/defogger functions to work.įixing a heater core hose isn’t as expensive as other repairs. If you have temperature control in your vehicle and your vehicle has an internal combustion engine, you have these hoses under your hood. The heater core hoses are important for the vehicle’s radiator, located behind the dashboard. Thus, attempting to make discrete comparisons between the average number of RECYCLED and any other parts types used per estimate may be difficult and inaccurate. It is commonly understood within the collision repair and insurance industries that a very large number of RECYCLED “parts” are actually “parts-assemblies” (such as doors, which in fact include numerous attached parts and pieces). This reflects a 0.81% relative decrease over this same period in 2016. Listed as “Non-New” parts in our estimating platform and reporting products, Remanufactured parts represent 4% of the average gross parts dollars used in Mitchell appraisals during Q1 2017. In Q1 2017, 21.52% of all parts dollars recorded on Mitchell appraisals were attributed to Aftermarket sources, up 2.87 points from Q1 2016. This represents a 1.85% relative decrease from Q1 2016. In Q1 2017, OEM parts represented 63.58% of all parts dollars specified by Mitchell-equipped estimators. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Parts Use in Dollars This section illustrates the percentage of dollars allocated to each unique part-type.As a general observation, recent data show that parts make up 46% of the average value per repairable vehicle appraisal, which represents over $1,400 in average spend per estimate. While there isn’t a perfect correlation between the types of parts specified by estimators and those actually used during the course of repairs, we feel that the following observations are directionally accurate for both the insurance and auto body repair industries. This category commonly includes all types of parts and assemblies, especially body, interior and mechanical parts. Parts removed from a salvaged vehicle and re-marketed through private or consolidated auto parts recyclers. While commonly associated with mechanical hard parts such as alternators, starters and engines, remanufactured parts may also include select crash parts such as urethane and TPO bumpers, radiators and wheels. Parts removed from an existing vehicle that are cleaned, inspected, repaired and/or rebuilt, usually back to the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications, and re-marketed through either the OEM or alternative supply chains. While this part category is often only associated with crash replacement parts, the automotive aftermarket also includes a large variety of mechanical and custom parts. This may also include those parts originally manufactured by endorsed OEM suppliers, which have later followed alternative distribution and sales processes. Parts produced and/or supplied by firms other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s designated supply channel. This category covers all automotive parts, including sheet metal and mechanical parts. Parts produced directly by the vehicle manufacturer or their authorized supplier, and delivered through the manufacturer’s designated and approved supply channels. Parts Analysis Parts Type Definitions Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) These data points reflect a ‘trade off’ in comparing Q1 2017 to the same period last year, there was only minimal shifting (less than 1%) between categories. This chart compares the average appraisal make-up as a percentage of dollars, constructed by Mitchell-equipped estimators. The average combined supplement variance for this quarter was $869.58, $2.01 lower than in Q1 2016. In this same period, the pure supplement frequency (supplements to estimates) was 65.41%, reflecting a 3.24 point increase from that same period in 2016. In Q1 2017, 40.66% of all original estimates prepared by Mitchell-equipped estimators were supplemented one or more times. SupplementsĪs it generally takes at least three months following the original date of appraisal to accumulate most supplements against an original estimate of repair, we report (and recommend viewing supplement information) three months’ after-the-fact, to obtain the most accurate view of this data. Factoring for development yields an anticipated Q1 2017 adjusted appraisal value of $ 2,822, a $54 increase in average severity over Q1 2016. In Q1 2017, our initial average gross third-party property damage appraisal was $2,805 compared to $2,768 in Q1 2016, reflecting a $37 initial increase between these respective periods. Continued development suggests a final Q1 2017 average gross collision appraisal value of $ 3,367, nearly equivalent to the same quarter last year. Mitchell’s Q1 2017 data reflects an initial average gross collision appraisal value of $3,327, $41 less than this same period last year.

Duveen quickly became decorator, designer, architect, and purveyor of tasteful art, porcelain, furniture, rugs, and anything else that was required to set the table and stage for the highest standards of living by this aspiring class. Early in his career he recognized a burgeoning market in America with its increasing number of millionaires who desired the type of life that bespoke long family lines of wealth and titles, and the lifestyles they had seen in the country estates and grand city houses of Britain and the Continent. Joseph Duveen personified taste, charm, and a sense of style that was irresistible. Under Joseph’s extravagant personality and guidance, with his father and uncle’s help, Joseph opened additional branches of the firm of Duveen in Paris and New York (Fig. 5), who had inherited the firm as a small but successful family business dealing in art that had begun with his father, Joel, when he came from Meppel, in Holland, to London, in 1866. The House of Duveen, as it was often called by its employees, was largely the success of Joseph Duveen (Fig. In purchasing the Duveen stock, Simon was acquiring the contents of a gallery that, more than any other, had influenced the way Americans collected art, and some of whose clients had gone on to found the nation’s foremost public and private museums, including the National Gallery of Art, The Frick Collection, and the Huntington Library and Art Collections. But there comes a time when a collector of this caliber realizes that their acquisitions will outlast them, and so begin to contemplate the future. His initial foray into collecting came when, like other famous collectors-Getty, Huntington, Frick, Morgan, and Gardner, among them-he wanted to outfit his home and corporate offices with art that reflected his newfound wealth. 2: Edward Fowles in his Parisian house (the former residence of World War I General Joseph Joffre). 4), far afield from his more obscure days as a tomato and orange juice canning magnate.įig. Was it the sheer need to possess a thing of beauty? Or was he more interested in art as an investment? Juxtaposed with his purchase of one year later-Rembrandt’s Portrait of a Boy (originally thought to be an image of the artist’s son Titus)-it is impossible not to think that Simon was enjoying his newfound notoriety as one of the major players on the art market (Fig. Speculation remains regarding Simon’s drive to own art. With this single action, he and his foundations became the owners of more than 800 objects of art he was only familiar with fewer than twenty of the works. The Duveen acquisition must have been tantalizing for someone like Simon. Simon was a keen observer of the business of running a museum, and he was already displaying his prowess as a master of negotiations with art dealers and at auctions. His close ties to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where he was a member of the board, as well as speculation that he would build a museum in Fullerton, California, where his company was headquartered, are faint signs that his drive to amass a collection of art was not only for his own personal gratification. Simon had been collecting art-primarily nineteenth-century paintings-for a decade, and had neither the space nor the staff to undertake such a major acquisition. 2) to purchase the legendary Duveen Brothers Gallery, including its massive stock of decorative arts, paintings, and sculpture, as well as its important library and stately galleries at East 79th Street in Manhattan (Fig. 1) signed an agreement with Edward Fowles (Fig. One wonders what his thoughts were when, in 1965, Norton Simon (Fig. 1: Norton Simon, 1952, Norton Simon Museum Archives.
